but without any record of the actual collector. Mr. Guy Marshall mentions his 

 having taken a white female at Beira in January 189(5, and also specimens at 

 Delagoa Bay. 



The present species is, as might be expected, a near ally of T. Calais, and 

 Dr. Mabille has figured it under the name of T. di/iiameiie, which, as I have already 

 shown, is not separable from T. calais. 



T. crowlei/i differs, however, from T. Calais in the characters noted above, and is 

 further remarkable for having a white female, as in the nearly allied Indian species, 

 T. amatns.

Male. — General colour bright salmon-pink with broad black borders and greyish- 

 blue markings^ ; the greater part of the primaries salmon-pink, the costa and the hind 

 margin black, the apical portion relieved by six longitudinal spots or streaks of a 

 greyish-blue, varying in size ; the basal area of the wing also greyish-blue, the costa 

 being dusted with this same colour. At the end of the discoidal cell is a black spot, 

 uniting with the black of the costal margin. 



The secondaries reproduce the same colour as in the primaries, but the salmon-pink 

 central area is much reduced in extent between the bluish-grey base and the broad 

 black border of the hind margin, which occupies nearly half of the wing. The fringe 

 on both wings is white. 



Underside. — Greenish-3'ellow with the centre of the primaries somewhat suffused 

 with orange, of which there is also a slight shade in the middle of the secondaries. 

 At the end of the cell is a minute black spot, corresponding with the black spot on 

 the upper surface. A row of black spots varying in size occurs between the middle of 

 the wing and the hind margin, marking the junction of the orange centre and the
